Is a permanent mute, for all of my life, really necessary? If my mute got lifted, I'd be a good boy: I'd never even say a peep in the lobby; I've learned my lesson.
I mainly play Arena FFA, and I need everyone to choose their positions before starting, but I can't tell them that, so all I can do is wait and kick, while they chant, "Noob host sleeping". So lots of people's times are just being wasted when they enter the waiting list for my games.
Then in the game, I'm frequently taunted and insulted for my superior strategies, and I can't say anything back. Also, I can't host Crate games because Crate enthusiasts aren't gonna join if they don't know it's a Crate game. (The mute doesn't allow me to title my games.)
Thx,
Love,
Daddy

Hello,
I just installed Tiberian Dawn, Red Alert, and Tiberian Sun via the CnCNet installer, on my Linux machine running Ubuntu 18.04.01 LTS (x84_64 kernel). Tiberian Sun appears to run okay, but Tiberian Dawn and Red Alert both crash at launch, giving me a Program Error from Wine. It seem like this is probably a Wine configuration issue, but I'm not sure what changes to make in winecfg. I've attached the backtrace logs from Wine in hopes that someone could help me.
Thanks!

Hi.
I've installed RA1 the full game (single campaign missions), but without the game-videos.
I run win10.
Whenever i start the game, it freezes in the game-menu.
I've tried different video-resolutions, 3d-acceleration methods (D3D, OpenGL, DirectDraw) but none works.
I've tried windows internal compatibility function (trying out both win98/ME and vista) but none works.
Any advice?
Best regards :)

Took a while, but I finally finished a full conversion mod for the original Red Alert.
Able Archer is to portray how Red Alert would have played out in the 1980s. I tried to make it as realistic as possible with the limited engine.
Simply unzip the archive into your Red Alert folder. Make sure to backup existing EXPAND2.mix, hires1.mix, rules.ini, and aftrmath.ini.
This was tested as working on Red Alert from TFD. It should work for every other platform, as it's only graphics replacements, and ini editing.
Original campaign works, as do most of the extra missions. Ant missions are strange, as ant units are used for regular buildable units.
Known bugs:
Game crashes when loading more than one game. Simply restart the game and you can load another save.
Transport Helicopters will attempt to leave the map when Spetsnaz board them. This is hard coded.

Playing the mega compilation, I was supprised to find out that some missions had structures of TD ported to red alert. I am wondering how I can do the same? Is there a simple guide or a topic about this? I thought it would be neet to add the old power plant and the comm center instead of radar dome for the allies (would I lose the radar screen?). And can I work with this in RAED?

Straight to point. I'm unable to play because keyboard and mouse clicks freeze / locks down when tanking or changing dpi.
I suspect Anti-Cheat is giving me false positives if nothing else.I don't use macros or any cheating.
Why do I think Anti-Cheat? I was looking why keyboard freezes and found this: "I downloaded a free program online to understand how it works. I used it a few times on gold medal challenge vs the computer only (without specs - I have never gone for the medal). I also used in a couple of online games to see if the program detects it or not, and warned the other player in advance. The good news is that it did in fact detect the program and my keyboard basically froze during the game." https://forums.cncnet.org/topic/6418-please-un-block-me/
In Red Alert 1 skirmish keyboard and mouse clicks freeze / gets lockdown when
1. tanking fast (bookmarks group Q) for good amount of time (hard to reproduce but it will happen sooner or later)
Freeze/lockdown duration is about 2mins (MOST IMPORTANT PROBLEM)
2. When in game and changing mouse sensitivity/dpi in logitech software (maybe, randomly sometimes can't easily reproduce)
Freeze/lockdown duration is unknown, have to restart the game
3. When in game and changing mouse dpi with mouse dpi button (maybe, randomly sometimes can't easily reproduce)
Freeze/lockdown duration is unknown, have to restart the game
I have tried to reinstall clean Windows, using different keyboard and mouse, disabling all buttons on mouse except left and right click, no extra buttons on keyboards.
Nothing helps, it's especially annoying is when tanking, mouse sensitivity I can change when not in game.
What is the solution? Can it be fixed? Please help.

Hi all,
I'm developing a red alert training map (2 players vs ai), but can't work out how to allow "ally in game" with the a button. Does anyone know how to do this?
Currently, players must choose the same team. Then if they accidentally hit the ally button, they can't ally back again.
Thanks!

Hi guys, hoping you can help me out here.
For some reason, some games rooms won't let me connect to the others in the room showing NA for all players in the room. I can still chat in these rooms but will ping NA to all. Seems that restarting the CNCnet client sometimes helps with this, sometimes doesn't. I've checked all my UPnP settings and even setup the rule in my router. Doesn't seem to have an effect. Also seems like its only when certain players are hosting the room that the problem occurs. Other times, connections work no prob.
If I had to guess, it's got to be a problem with the port not opening correctly for given rooms (perhaps it's trying to open the connections on something other than the regular port?). I'm a bit at a loss - if there were logs I could go over to see why the connections are failing in certain circumstances I'd likely be able to find the fix. I am pretty technically handy (work as a technical project manager as my day job).
My setup is this:
Alienware R7 i5 8400 w/ 1080 Ti, windows 10 home, Killer E2500 Gigabit networking adapter. Windows firewall is off.
I am on a hardwired 1gpbs Google Webpass connection with a google wifi router. I never had this problem on my laptop (before I got my desktop), so I'm thinking it's either some crapware dell has on my comp, a permissions issue with UPnP or the killer networking adapter software/firmware itself.
If I run the CNCnet_UPnP exe in the CNCnet folder, the cmd window says "failed to open ports" so further fuel to my idea that this issue is UPnP/permissions related.
So
1) anywhere I can check the specific connection logs for rooms?
2) any ideas on the UPnP configurations that I can tinker with?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as this problem is keeping me out of some really good games.
Cheers!

Ive been having a weird issue since installing C&C. Eventually when im playing the game, Ill see a cutscene, and the audio will play, but the video will not move. On top of this, whenever I go into the menu, the mouse cursor wont be shown moving. I can still select stuff, but its always shown as a still screen. When i leave the menu, the game cursor will show up just fine so I can manuver it to something like "Abort Mission" and be able to quit to the main menu. However, the cursor wont move in the menu either.
Has anyone else ever had this issue? If so, is there any way to fix it?
I believe that Red Alert has this problem too.
Edit: I just realized that I posted this issue years ago. So, disregard this one all together. It can be closed so i dont add a mirror post.

Hi my name Stackopoly & I like to kick it. Lately I have no been able to kick it and play my favorite online game Red Alert!
When I try to log in I'm met with the repeated messages shown below.

I gave it a couple days and it continues.
All in all that makes me a very sad panda & I am asking for some amazing mod to help mend this situation.
You see... every month I enjoy playing on the cncnet ladder. I put on a Halloween dog suit and I go out hunting for the Kitty Katsh. Usually he ignores and only win trades with his kitty companion Yuzgen. With me being unable to connect to cncnet I also cannot connect to the ladder. & that makes me very sad
Fortunately someone on the ladder by the name or ORA-Galgu gg'd them ez np!
I graciously appreciate any help. I tried reinstalling, nothing else really.
If I'm banned the only reason could be language & I admit I should a more kid friendly narrative.

I've just downloaded the full game onto a Windows 10 laptop and starting multiplayer and skirmish both seem to work fine but when I click play offline, the screen looks like it's changing resolution or something and goes black like it's loading but then the screen goes back to normal and nothing happens, with no error message.
There are a few things already on here that looked like similar problems but they all had error messages and, to be honest, I didn't really understand the answers; please help
Cheers.
